Abstract

An illuminated track system is disclosed, comprising plurality of track segments. Each track segment is composed of a floor, with the floor comprising a front section, said front section comprising a coupler, a back section, said back section comprising a coupler mouth, an underside, said undersiding comprising a first conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth and a second conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth, a top section and at least one illumination bulb, said positioned from said underside and connected to said first conductive contact and to said second conductive contact. A power source is connected to an assembly of said plurality of said track segments, such that the assembly forms a closed circuit.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
What is claimed is: 
     
       1. An illuminated track system, comprising:
 a) a plurality of track segments, each track segment comprising:
 i) a floor, said floor comprising:
 A) a front section, said front section comprising a coupler; 
 B) a back section, said back section comprising a coupler mouth; 
 C) an underside, said underside comprising:
 I) a first conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth; 
 II) a second conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth; 
 
 D) a top section; 
 E) at least one illumination bulb, said illumination bulb positioned from said underside and connected to said first conductive contact and to said second conductive contact; 
 F) a first side section; 
 G) a second side section; and 
 
 
 b) a power source, wherein said power source is connected to an assembly of said plurality of said track segments, such that said assembly forms a closed circuit. 
 
     
     
       2. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , wherein said power source is batteries. 
     
     
       3. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , wherein said power source is AC current. 
     
     
       4. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , wherein said power source is included in a power source track segment, said power source track segment comprising:
 i) a floor, said floor comprising:
 A) a front section, said front section comprising a coupler; 
 B) a back section, said back section comprising a coupler mouth; 
 C) an underside, said 
 D) a first conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth; 
 E) a second conductive contact connecting said coupler to said coupler mouth; 
 F) a top section; 
 G) at least one illumination bulb, said positioned from said underside and connected to said first conductive contact and to said second conductive contact; 
 G) a first side section; 
 H) a second side section; 
 I) a power source, said power source attached to said second side section, wherein said power source is connected to the first conductive contact and said second conductive contact. 
 
 
     
     
       5. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , wherein said at least one illumination bulb is an LED light. 
     
     
       6. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , wherein said top section of said floor has at least one opening for a light from underneath the track segments. 
     
     
       7. The illuminated track system of  claim 6 , wherein said middle section of said floor has a raised section through said at least one light fits. 
     
     
       8. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , further comprising a first side wall attached to said first side section. 
     
     
       9. The illuminated track system of  claim 8 , further comprising a second side wall attached to said second side section. 
     
     
       10. The illuminated track system of  claim 9 , said first side wall of said track segment comprising:
 a) a first coupling arm near said front section on said first side wall; and 
 b) a first coupling pocket near said back section on said first side wall. 
 
     
     
       11. The illuminated track system of  claim 10 , said second side wall of said track segment comprising:
 a) a first coupling pocket near said front section on said second side wall; and 
 b) a first coupling arm near the back section on said on said second wall. 
 
     
     
       12. The illuminated track system of  claim 9 , said first side wall of said track segment comprising:
 a) a first coupling arm near said back section on said first side wall; and 
 b) a first coupling pocket near said front section of said first side wall. 
 
     
     
       13. The illuminated track system of  claim 12 , said first said side wall of said track segment comprising:
 a) a first coupling pocket near said back section on said second side wall; and 
 b) a first coupling arm near the front section on said on said second wall. 
 
     
     
       14. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , wherein said track segment further comprises:
 a) a first overlay extending from said front section of said first side section; 
 b) a first underlay extending from said front section of said second side section; 
 c) a first underlay extending from said back section of said first side section; 
 d) a first overlay extending from said back section of said second side section. 
 
     
     
       15. The illuminated track system of  claim 1 , wherein said track segment further comprises:
 a) a first underlay extending from said front section of said first side section; 
 b) a first overlay extending from said front section of said second side section; 
 c) a first overlay extending from said back section of said first side section; 
 d) a first underlay extending from said back section of said second side section.
